Come join us for a slice of Americana with a helping of conservative politics on the side.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed"

Looking forward to the cabin, I need a vacation from the house and computer. It should be fun, the rest of the guys are basically urban lumberjacks from one of the largest city tree contractors in California. We'll knock the work out quick then its time to break out the fishing gear and guns and have some fun.

I see the GOP is finally growing a spine and fighting back on shamnesty and over spending through hidden earmarks and pork amid the tanking approval ratings of Pelosi's congress. Good, it's about dang time and our base does not seem to be as divided as the MSM would like us to believe and the DNC's appears to be in deep disarray between the disparate groups that form their coalition from the far left to the more sensible centrists.

Trent Lott needs to know when to shut his trap and quit insulting goats, I take personal offense at these remarks. (Hattip: Hotair)

Sen. Minority Whip Trent Lott, R-Miss., was talking to reporters Wednesday about the immigration bill, when he said, “If the answer is ‘build a fence’ I’ve got two goats on my place in Mississippi. There ain’t no fence big enough, high enough, strong enough, that you can keep those goats in that fence.”“Now people are at least as smart as goats,” Lott continued. “Maybe not as agile. Build a fence. We should have a virtual fence. Now one of the ways I keep those goats in the fence is I electrified them. Once they got popped a couple of times they quit trying to jump it.”“I’m not proposing an electrified goat fence,” Lott added quickly, “I’m just trying, there’s an analogy there.”

He has clearly spent too much time in the Washington fever swamp and not enough time tending his goats. Maybe he should be brought home by the Mississippi voters.

LOL! Now, now, Goat. Perhaps you should rethink this one. He's actually saying Goats are smarter than he is. He had to electrify a fence in order to keep them in, because he couldn't build a fence that would contain them. That makes the Goats smart and doesn't say much for the fence builder. ;)

Contemplate the mangled bodies of your countrymen, and then say, 'What should be the reward of such sacrifices?' Bid us and our posterity to bow the knee, supplicate the friendship, and plough, and sow, and reap, to glut the avarice of the men who have let loose on us the dogs of war, to riot in our blood and hunt us from the face of the earth? If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animating contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!"- Samuel Adams

"It is in vain, sir, to extentuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace--but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"---Patrick Henry
